Home Theater

I have a Yamaha HTR-5730 that will power on, and then immediately powers back off. Does anyone know how to troubleshoot or repair this stereo, or can you direct me to someone who can. I would prefer to do the work myself if possible, since the cost at a service center would be a large percentage of the replacement cost.

I have a widescreen LCD "flat panel" TV and a Bose DVD player; the two are connected with an S-Video.

I rented a widescreen DVD and when I play it, it still puts bars across the top and bottom. although the picture does fill the width of the tv. The only only way I can get it to fill the whole viewable screen was to use the TV's "zoom" feature.

What's the deal? Shouldn't a widescreen movie fill the screen of my widescreen tv?

My current amp/receiver that I got now can pump 105 watts at 8 ohms, which match my speakers... but my sorround polk speakers's recommended amplification is 20-100 watts/channel.

Two questions: what is that 20 mean? And finally will a 5 watt difference really blow up the sorround speakers or is it still pretty safe to use a 105 watt receiver?

Plasma, LCD, projector... although I'm leaning more to the projector side. I'm looking at the In76 by infocus and i don't know if i should get it. I don't know if i should get this dlp projector or a wall mounted lcd or plasma. For a lcd tv, i'm currently looking at the "46 BRAVIA XBR® LCD Flat Panel HDTV" from Sony that will come out later this august (2006). However, it does seem a little expensive for only a 46'. So what would be a better bargain for great picture quality and longetivity. Let's say money isn't a problem at this stage.

So in76 vs best plasma vs best LCD...
Whatever I'm going to buy is going to be my gaming television. (not that i play my 360 for hours and hours nonstop so i probably won't get burn-ins from plasma anytime soon after my purchase...)

We have surround sound. It is driving me crazy. It is connected to our DVD player. Came as one whole system. My problem is the sound. We have to turn it up to hear what people are saying but the music is so loud that it almost blows your eardrums out. If we turn it down you can't hear what people are saying. Does anyone know how we would make the music and words come out at the same decible? ANY help is appreciated. Thank you

Edit: It's a kawasaki (sp?) if that helps. The instruction booklet does not talk about this problem at all. Again thanks for any help.

This is a temporary arrangement until I get something else, but is it bad for the receiver in any way? I would think there is no problem with it, except for the speakers not performing at near their intended level... But if there is something hazardous I have not thought about I would appreciate any comment.

Hello All....I hooked up a new home theater in a box just a couple days ago. Everything was going fine for a couple days, and now it keeps cutting out. I hooked up a old receiver and it did the same, this time showing the message "Protect". I looked it up in the manual, and it says that it is short circuiting. So, it's happening to both receivers....What can I do to stop this?
